Slide Show Demo for "March Reflections"

This is my first slideshow showing several steps of painting "March Reflections". I apologize for some glare on the canvas as I photographed my work. I like to have a fairly accurate drawing when I start, even though I will lose most of the lines as I fill in with paint. The final picture in the slideshow is better quality, as I took it when it was off the easel and out of the glare.

I came, I saw, but did not conquer!The questions I wanted to ask were plentiful, why the colored background if so little shows in the end? And more importantly, how do you decide what to keep and what to cover as you progress? Pardon the barrage of questions, but my last work was so anemic! Catherine, I need a personal lesson!

Congratulations Catherine for soldiering on and working through creating the video-i just upgraded my comp and trying to figure out how to do this as some of my students have asked me--is there a 'how to' manual out there for dummies?

Fascinating to see your process and how you built this painting--and to have the self discipline to stop and then resume in order to document the process-kudos to you!

About Me

Thank you for stopping by my blog.I love to draw and paint and have been doing so for all of my conscious life. I work in oils and acrylics and enjoy the qualities that each has to offer. Art is a necessity for my well being. I am inspired by the world around me, and enjoy how ordinary and familiar scenes we see everyday are transformed by a mood of weather or a play of light.
I hope my pictures can bring you some pleasure or joy.
